This would be for opkg-target, so I have plenty of space :-) I just don't want to have to mirror the whole repository, because this would take a lot of time. > Probably we will > need adding another parameter such as "--reserve-pkg-files" to tell opkg > it should reserve the opk files it downloaded. > What do you think? I think there are three items this needs: - either a way to tell opkg where to put the packages, or at least a way to know where it puts them (I guess --tmp-dir may go in this direction ?) - a way to make it keep the packages it downloads. This could be the --reserve-pkg-files you proposed. - a way to make it use the local packages. I guess this can be done by editing opkg.conf ? I don't know the internals of opkg, but perhaps - instead of providing three separate components - the easiest way would be to have an option --cache <dir> that makes it look for a package in that directory before downloading, and makes opkg download to that directory ?
